It seems Sprint users have something to look forward to, a new selection of phones to choose from. A selection of new phones are expected to be launched on April 16 and seem to offer a nice selection.

First up is the LG LX400, a clamshell phone with Qchat push-to-talk network compatibility. Next up are a few models from Sanyo, the PRO-200 which is a slim clamshell that is expected to retail for $249.99, the PRO-700 which is a rugged phone that is dust and shock resistant that is expected to retail for $269.99 and the Katana LX which is a budget minded phone that will show up in pink, black and blue. Wrapping the new additions is the BlackBerry Curve 8830 in a new titanium color, which will join the existing black version.

In addition to the phones Sprint is also expected to add the Sierra Wireless 597 data card, which is also expected to hit the lineup as of April 16.

SanDisk is now shipping U3 smart USB Flash drives with added security, pre-loaded with SignupShield Password Manager Software. This featured application will be available on both the new Cruzer Micro and Titanium U3 smart flash drives. The first level of protection is SanDisk’s new hardware-based access control mechanism which provides for an optional password required to access any file residing on a SanDisk U3 smart flash drive. The second level of protection is provided by SignupShield’s own encryption of password files.

“We added access control mechanism to our new U3 smart lines of Cruzer Micro and Titanium drives in a response to market demand for an overall access control which goes beyond individual applications”, said Mike Morganstern, SanDisk’s USB Product Marketing Manager.. “In the case of SignupShield, this enhances the inherent security required for keeping files safe from peering eyes”.
